Skinner’s Streak Ends as Oilers Drop Game 2

Edmonton Oilers goalie Stuart Skinner has played a pivotal role in the 2025 Stanley Cup Finals, though he allowed five goals in a double-overtime loss to the Florida Panthers in Game 2, which ended his five-game winning streak. Despite the setback, Skinner has won seven of his last eight playoff games and boasts a .958 save percentage at home in Rogers Place. His composure and leadership remain key to the Oilers' locker room morale as the series continues. Skinner’s response to last season’s Game 7 heartbreak has contributed to his growth and performance under playoff pressure. He is expected to start in Game 3, with the team expressing continued trust in his abilities. The Oilers are looking to regain momentum as the series progresses.
